VHL Tournament Id of a Season

The VHL tournament id (tn) of a season (END year) and stage. Read from the calendar's tournament select, fetched once per R session. The tn is what the site keys every season page by; the wrappers map it for you, so you need it only to read tn columns or build a URL by hand.

Usage

vhl_tn(season, stage = "regular")

Arguments

season

Season END year (2026 = 2025/26). The calendar covers 2010/11 on.

stage

"regular" (default) or "playoff".

Value

An integer: the tn (1374 for the 2025/26 regular season, 1375 for its playoffs). A length-one vector, not a data frame:

col_name	type	description
(value)	integer	The tournament number (tn).
